Where Would You Invest $800K? Finding High-Yield Property Near a CBD

Where could an $800,000 property budget deliver strong value, rental returns and convenient CBD access?


Using PropertyDirector’s PropertyFinder, we searched for suburbs with:


* $300K - $800K budget

* 4% - 7% rental yield

* Maximum 1% vacancy rate

* Population of 4,000+

* Within 50km of a CBD


Nollamara, WA stood out, with a median asking house price of $799,223, rental yield of 4.89% and vacancy rate of just 0.27%.


We then identified a current three-bedroom, free-standing house listed at $699,000, with estimated rent of $700 per week - an approximate gross yield of 5.21%.


PropertyFinder helps investors quickly screen thousands of suburbs, refine their criteria and uncover property-specific opportunities.
